Description

I am tired of trucks driving through wood street to California waste solutions with un-covered loads. (in fact why are they not driving the frontage road?) I have had several confrontations with drivers saying one of two things. We are driving 25mph and its only a mile away. All have been driving from California waste solutions or back with full loads. The loads being what they are, end up blowing waste into our street, which is in fact on our heads.

I would like them to stand up to their environmental plus image and demand that drivers cover their loads... however upon closer inspection one can ascertain that their covers are actually often non-operable.

My answer to them... 1mile through our neighborhood littering waste is not a reason to be lazy and not cover your load.

Driving 25mph does not mean that the wind does as you say. A 15mph wind going against you makes for a 35mph wind on your load... get it? or how about a 25mphwind with the extra force of a passing truck and??? gusts? ok point proven?

Cover ur loads... just because wood street looks like the wild west does not mean that anyone gets free range to add to the trash problem.

Respect West Oakland!
